(In response to the questions about Omen Technology's Professional-YAM
communication software for dial-out applications.)
For people who are interested in playing with Unix dialout programs,
look in /afs/sipb/project/pcomm, which is a Unix look-and-feel ripoff of
Procomm. (Everybody please don't run out and tell Datastorm, Inc. about
it! :-) It's a bit rough, and uses more CPU time than it should (it
was originally written for SYS V, and so it doesn't use select()), but
it mostly works. There are vax and rt binaries already built; but I've
since gotten tired of playing with it (and have no time!), so if you run
into any problems, you're more or less on your own. It does have
[xy]modem built in, so it can be useful, though.
